I tired of that plain cover\u00a0 very quickly. It showed me why piecing a journal cover is important: the piecing adds visual interest. I left the b\/w dots on the journal for which I made it after I wrote the last page and made yet another journal cover with the Anna Maria Horner Innocent Crush Grape. I don&#8217;t love\/adore that fabric, but there is something about it I like. It is also a more complex and, thus, a more interesting fabric than the dots.<\/p>\n<p>I think I will see about making a new cover for each new journal I start. I don&#8217;t know if I will piece the next one. I have plenty of fabric and can make a journal cover in a half an hour if I don&#8217;t piece it. On the other hand, pieced covers are more interesting and I could piece bits together as leaders and enders. My scrap basket is starting to overflow and I need to do something with the scraps. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made these journal covers in November and December, but didn&#8217;t get a chance to post them.
